Notes and Editorial Reviews

Whenever the Berolina Ensemble performs - expect the unexpected. The young Berlin musicians have been seeking out unknown chamber music in unusual scorings - and with the works of Waldemar von Baussnern, they have scored another bullseye. Baussnern's works blend the influences of the conservative and New German schools into a highly individual style; it is to his position as Academy secretary that we owe the appointments of Schoenberg, Schreker and Hindemith to the Berlin Academy of Sciences.Whenever the Berolina Ensemble performs - expect the unexpected.

Not gonna set the world on fireJune 7, 2014By Frank Hudson (Bowie, MD)See All My Reviews"This music is tuneful &amp; pleasant but undistinguished. Performances and recording are quite respectable. A notch above salon music but well below the level of Schubert Octet, comparable works by Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, et al (no surprise)."Report Abuse
